Meeting Summary

1/4/18

Eric Angelo called us together with the loud ringing of the bell, and then Gary Goodman got the meeting and the year off to a great start with an enthusiastic rendition of the national anthem. We sounded pretty good. Steve Collins led the pledge and Ken Darby offered the prayer.

Of course we started on time, with President Eric Angelo clanging the bell at 7. Missing our usual song leaders, Eric persuadedTim Ragsdale to start us in song. Billy Schwartz led the pledge and Phil Fugit offered the prayer.

It was a somewhat subdued crowd as the meeting opening but, as usual, things got revved up. President Eric Angelo banged the gavel and asked Gary Goodman to lead us in song. Bob Reidel led the pledge and Larry Hughes offered the prayer.

President Eric Angelo brought the rowdy bunch to attention, and Gary Goodman chose the right tempo for “God Bless America.” We were under way! Bill Ryan led the pledge and Phil Fugit offered the prayer.

Vice President Adrian Crane stepped in for President Eric Angelo and did a great job of keeping the meeting moving. Gary Goodman led us in song; Troy Wright started the pledge and Ken Darby offered the prayer.

He’s b-a-a-a-ck! At 7 a.m. sharp (when else?) on Thursday morning at the Clarion Inn, our AWOL President Eric is back at the podium trying to quell the masses. With limited success. Happy to see Eric back, the din eventually subsided and Gary (“I Shot the Sheriff”) Goodman led us in a patriotic song, Bobby Husman led the pledge and Phil Fugit offered a prayer. Perennial late-comers (you know who you are) escaped without an Eric fine this morning.

With President Eric Angelo called for jury duty, Vice President Adrian Crane presided again and did a great job, especially given the lack of a sound system in the room down the hall from our normal meeting place. Gary Goodman led us in the national anthem, Allan Ramsay led the pledge and Marty Villa offered the prayer.

President Eric Angelo had his eye on the clock and the door this morning and after the usual formalities boosted the club account by fining several late arrivers: Kevin, Bill, Randy, Aaron, Joe, and Tim. Kyle Barker started us in song, Doug Van Den Enden led the pledge and Ken Darby offered the prayer.

Some things are very predictable about our Thursday mornings, but not always the location. We were back in the pool atrium area this morning, meaning everyone had to us their outside voice to be heard. President Eric Angelo started the meeting at 7:02 a.m. Gary Goodman led us in “God Bless America” and there were no signs we woke any hotel guests. Jim Graham led the pledge and Ken Darby offered the prayer, including a special prayer for Joan Rutschow, who had back surgery today.

President Eric Angelo had his hands full reining in the rowdies this morning. The good news: $ into the fine bucket. After a fine-worthy joke, Gary Goodman led us in song, Don Vieira led the pledge and Larry Hughes offered the prayer.

President Eric Angelo brought us to order (as much as possible). With our two regular song leaders missing this morning, Eric called on Charlie Christensen to get us going and he did a great job in leading us in “God Bless America.” Doug Hardie led the pledge and Ken Darby offered the prayer.

President Eric Angelo was back with us and grew the treasury by fining several arrivers. Gary Goodman led us in the national anthem, Doug Hardie got us started with the pledge and Ken Darby offered the prayer.

VP Adrian Crane presided this morning. Gary Goodman led us in the national anthem; Junior Navy SEAL J.C. Bravo led the pledge and fellow SEAL Emily Robison offered a prayer. The Junior Navy SEALS provided our program this morning and the students sat throughout the room, introducing themselves and explaining about their program individually.

President Eric Angelo is counting down. He has only two more meetings after today and that seemed to put a big smile on his face this morning. Gary Goodman led us in “God Bless America.” Doug V led the pledge and Marty V offered a prayer.

A constitutional crisis was avoided today when charter member Steve Collins presided over a special meeting where Marci Boucher announced the results of her long past due apron signing. With formalities out of the way Marci Called the meeting to order announcing that President Adrian had taken a page from Mike Boyd’s play list by being absent for his first meeting as president.

Prexy Adrian got the meeting started somewhat on time, considering he forgot to turn the microphone button on to get everyone’s attention. And then there was a missing gavel situation, resolved when Adrian found a very large gavel to get us underway on his maiden voyage at the helm.

Even without the official bell, President Adrian Crane called the noisy crowd to order. Jeremiah Williams led us in song; Bill Michael led the pledge and Larry Hughes offered the prayer. We later learned that Marci Boucher has the bill and it almost made it out the door with her this morning.
